Are you using a variety of observation styles?

The importance of using a variety of strategies to assess children’s learning is highlighted in the Early Years Learning Framework. According to the EYLF assessment of learning is an ongoing process that includes a “diverse array of methods” to capture and record the different pathways children take to achieve outcomes.

According to the Guide to the National Quality Standard, when assessors are rating services for Element 1.1.1, they may ask to sight “documentation that has been gathered in a variety of ways about children’s progress towards the learning outcomes and planning that establishes further learning goals.”

EarlyWorks’ flexible observation template means that educators can easily use a variety of observation styles, and even label their observations as being of a particular style. This labelling makes the education leader’s job much easier, as it is very clear when educators have included a variety of observation styles in their documentation.

"Since introducing EarlyWorks into our centre in May 2016, we have been very impressed with the improvements in almost every aspect of our service. All of our educators have found it very easy to use, and has saved countless hours of manual paperwork."

"We 100% recommend EarlyWorks to all centres. We have found our programming time has halved and much more simple to get our parents involved and send feedback. The system is very user friendly. I couldn’t be happier with our decision to implement EarlyWorks in our child care."

We have been working with it now for just on a year and i have had experience with 3 other programs previously. It not only runs rings around the other programs with functionality, but it is easy to use. My senior educators that have been in the industry like myself for long periods of time have been able to get around it with minimal support and training. And training has been fantastic. One on one and group and they answer the phone all the time. I love it!
